Correction: even if Google is down, you won’t notice, because DDG works just fine. Last time I went to any of Google websites was 4 years ago.

> Plus all of these starting points imply the use of new languages, configurations, and programs, in particular, builds. Oh yeah, true, some people keep saying a language is just a…

MacOS. Project scripts and software are hardcoded for Mac. The alternative is Windows, but making the project dev environment cross-platform takes time. I dislike non-standard keyb…

Java was released in 1996. It got generics in 2004, 8 years later. I don't remember anyone panicking and yelling from every corner that the world is ending. Everyone understood the…

On Windows just press Win+; .

I’m in a team where every member was forced into macOS against their will, because a lot of project scripts were hardcoded for macOS by a long-gone “architect”. My biggest gripes w…

And how are emails any different from web articles? Both contain structured thoughts represented as structured text, both often contain code and quotations, lists and so on. Why sp…

But, almost everyone does? Would you prefer all web articles to be strictly in plain text, same colour? No font changes between text and code, no colors for quotations, no indented…

I mean, how are you going to use rich text otherwise?

Any closed community ends up as a cult, derangement reinforced through the circular patting on the backs. HN already got a bit of a loony reputation (for example, see the comment a…

The entire DKE paper is trash, as most papers are in psychology.

“Social status” is an artificial circlejerk concept, why do you care?

Lol god forbid. Browser side programming is shitty enough without lisp nonsense.

By "attacked" you probably meant "criticised"? Criticising something is not only a perfectly normal activity, it's a necessary one and is an important part of the scientific method…

It's explicitly stated in their comment: > arguing about slight variations of the same mundanities: XML, XSD, IDL, ASN.1, Avro, JSON... Emacs vs. Vim, Weakly vs. Strongly typed, an…

If you think what I said is wrong, you're welcome to explain why. Personal attacks are neither productive nor interesting. My reasoning is the following: People would only listen t…

Your statement implies that arguing is something bad. Arguing is presenting arguments that attempt to show (prove) why something is true or false. It's the most important tool (con…

This thread made me read about conditional types in TS and in general more about its type system. I was ignorant. I agree now that it's advanced. Previously I only heard bad things…

Are you really calling this ergonomic? https://github.com/codemix/ts-sql/blob/master/src/Evaluator.... Same thing but actually readable and maintanable would've been better impleme…

What compile-time guarantees does that SQL library give? I don't see any docs or explanations at that Github repo and my TS knowledge is limited to be able to infer everything from…

Is this satire? What do you think is advanced about TS' type system and why? Duck-typing that creates a minefield instead of providing correctness? The unknown type that does the s…

Learn not to give a shit about money and find a job that you enjoy.

Hate to break it to you, but the absolute majority of devs have no idea what HN is, or are interested in reading it.

> But what about the web browser, the GUI environment, the OS kernel? Firefox is being rewritten in Rust, which is not oop. Linux kernel is in C, which is not oop. Eclipse SWT, a v…
